I have hypermobile joints, and after getting my second injury from ju jistsu I was told that I really really can't do high impact sports.
I really want to get back into doing some sport I need to loose weight but I need somethings that I can do without going to a gym or the pool.
So what can I do thats not high impact? Preferably low - no impact

Walking.
I was thinking of getting a kinect if i can find one cheap enough (when I have some spare cash) and seeing if there were any fitness games that I could do...
Sitting on the sofa shouting at the telly.
Didn't think of that one...thats something I could along with one of those silly DVDs - but might help keep me on track though!
Doing some bodyweight excercises as long as the form is good shouldn't put too much stress on the joints, including push ups, squats, chin ups / pull ups, planks, lunges, etc. these will all help build core muscles that will make your movements in everything else more comfortable, and also will burn a few calories.
Pilates would be the instant suggestion from me though, it's pretty much the go-to for all of my friends / family who have had fucked up knees.
I don't know if it's different for a mini trampoline, but I was under the impression that trampolines are one of the highest-risk things for your knees (well, for pretty much all of your joints, really).
not unless you only do front crawl.
breast stroke is one of the worst exercises a hypermobile person can do
I'm going to try swimming...
Why is breast stroke so bad for people who are hypermobile suzy?
